That blows but not as bad as VA. Here you have to pay sales tax when you buy the car then you have to pay the state tax to own the care every year after that. Tell me that ain't double taxation.

It's such a confusing system. I was lucky enough to avoid the annual luxury tax by being an out of state resident (military) but I still had to pay for the damned city sticker. I don't know if many places near the beltway have that but in Hampton and Norfolk area, you pay tax when you buy the car, annual luxury tax and an annual or bi-annual city tax. Next they are probably going to tax your taxes.

Well I think seeing as Cpttango30 is a member of this board in a way he is voting with his feet. To keep a job in that area you have 3, maybe 4 states to choose from your willing to commute a good distance.

Virginia, Maryland, DC, West Virginia is the maybe.

MD and DC, I hope you have a nice gun collection when you get here cause its not going to increase much once you are a resident, and WV is a hell of a commute. Although owning land in WV and registering a car there might work. Prolly not worth it though.

I work exactly 3miles from home. My son goes to work with me everyday. My daughter leaves before I have to leave for work. My wife is home when my daughter gets home from school and my son rides home with me. I pay $22 a month for Anthem BCBS PPO health insurance, I get every holiday off with my kids 2 months in the summer and I get paid no matter what. Granted pay is not all that great but, if I went into the private sector I would have to drive north to DC or Fairfax Springfield everyday taking another 20 hours a week So I would see my kids 20 hours less a week (Not always a bad thing) I would miss out of my kids school functions Plus I GOT ME TONS OF EYE CANDY Right now. I am one of 4 yes 4 guys that work with me the rest are women and some mighty hot ones I might add. One I work close with talks about becoming a cougar, I don't know if any of you have ever been cougar hunting but boy if you land a good one they are great.
